Starting this week, Columbus has changed the way it picks up recyclables and yard waste.

Instead of collecting them in alternating weeks, city contractor Rumpke now picks up both yard
waste and recyclables on the same day, but every other week. That means the day of the week that
the city picks up your yard waste and recycling hasn’t changed, but the week of pickup might
have.

“The change will make the bi-weekly collections of recycling and yard waste more efficient and
make it easier for residents to keep track of their collection day,” according to the city’s
website.

To find out when your recycling and yard waste will be picked up, call 614-645-3111 or go online
to
311.columbus.gov/AddrLookupnew.aspx and enter your address. Once the website
displays the calendar, it also will offer options to set reminders by phone, text or Twitter. You
can call the city to set up those reminders, too.
